| There is something so pleasing to my eye in the String Quilt. I had made a few and moved on to some other patterns. But since I do a lot with 2 1/2 inch strips I decided to collect them and make another when the collection got big enough. This one is a really pleasing combination with the white strips providing the structure and the yellow just popping all over. This was made by Karen, of the Ladies of the Cloth, formerly referred to as the Sew and Sews, for a Guild service project. It is so colorful, happy, fun. She even mentioned that her Mr. felt it was her best quilt! Karen makes stunning quilts, I am not sure I agree with her Mr. but this one did indeed inspire me to do another one, now from Jelly Rolls. |

I used a paper foundation of deli paper. Yes, you heard correctly, no cold cuts here, just strips of fabric. We have several potential sources in our area. Check the big box grocery/all purpose stores like Sam's Club, Costco, or GFS. I cut my sheets down to 10 1/2 inches square. I used a white strip down the center and added to each side, The fabric is a Mirabella Jelly Roll from another project and guess what? I found two layer cakes in the same fabric hiding under some Christmas fabric. I was able to make 12 blocks from that Jelly Roll and will use that as a center medallion of sorts.

| I have no idea why these photo's have an orange off-cast! Reminds me of some old Polaroid ones I have from the 1960's! Just wanted to give you the idea. 12 blocks done. | | |
